The English language was based off Germanic languages (from the Anglo-Saxons mainly) and the French language.
The language of Old English was influenced by various languages, including Latin (through the Roman occupation of Britain), Celtic languages (spoken by the pre-Roman inhabitants of Britain), and Old Norse (introduced by the Viking invasions). These influences shaped the vocabulary, grammar, and phonology of Old English.
The word "rough" is originally from the Middle English language, which evolved from Old English. It is also influenced by Old Norse.
English has roots in the Germanic language family, deriving primarily from Old English and heavily influenced by Latin, French, and other languages due to historical invasions and migrations. It is a West Germanic language that has evolved over centuries to become the global lingua franca.
Old English is the earliest form of the English language, used from the 5th to the 11th century. It is characterized by a more complex grammar and vocabulary with heavy influence from Germanic languages. Modern English, on the other hand, began to emerge around the 16th century and has evolved with simplified grammar and vocabulary influenced by various languages, such as Latin and French.
No, the old English language did not stop in 1066. The Norman Conquest in 1066 influenced the development of Middle English, which gradually replaced Old English as the dominant language in England. Old English continued to be used in some contexts alongside Middle English for a period of time.
The Norman Conquest of England in 1066 greatly influenced the English language by introducing a significant number of French words into the language. This linguistic shift led to a blending of Old English and Norman French, resulting in Middle English.
Norman French influenced it heavily from 1066 onward, and eventually turned it into Middle English.
A pidgin language is a mix of different languages used for communication between groups who do not share a common language. A creole language can develop from a pidgin language when it becomes the native language for a community.
English is based on a West Germanic language and is a fusion of many languages including Anglo Saxon (Old English), Latin, Old Norse, Norman French and words absorbed from other languages of the British Empire. In that sense, most languages are not pure languages because they incorporate elements from predecessor and neighboring languages.
No, they are two separate languages. However, both languages have a common ancestor. Old English is also called Anglo Saxon and is the ancestor of modern day English. Old Norse, heavily influenced English, but is a different language. Old Norse is the ancestor of Icelandic. However,unlike English, there are few differences between Icelandic and its ancestor
not in any other language accept English and old English
English is the main language but immigrants may speak their native languages at home.
The English Language has been influenced by many different features. At first in Old English, England was inhabited by the Angles, the Saxons and the Jutes. Germanic language influenced it as well. By the time of the renaissance/middle English language was established with the assistance of the Norman invastion (french). Modern English was when language was well established and standardisation began however many words from a variety of different languages are in the dictionary e.g. Gaelic and Hindi.
English belongs to the Germanic family of Indo-European languages. Old English (also known as Anglo-Saxon) had two main dialects. The Anglic dialect gave its name to the language, but the Saxon dialect eventually evolved into Modern English. Along the way, English was heavily influenced, both in grammar and vocabulary, by Norman French, itself a Germanicized member of the Romance family of Indo-European languages. One great strength of English is its power of incorporating or borrowing words from other languages, particularly French, Latin and Greek, but the language itself is not derived from these or any others.Originals Celtic Germanic French, Borrowers Latin, Greek, and pretty well everything else to some small degree.There are more Native American words in English than Celtic words. The Celtic affect on English is negligible.
English is 'descended' from Anglo-Saxon and Old French, with several influences from other languages, too. All known languages are 'descended' from other languages, so there is nothing odd about that.
The English language developed over a long period of time, starting with the arrival of Germanic tribes to what is now England around the 5th century AD. These tribes brought their own languages, which eventually evolved into Old English. Throughout its history, English has been influenced by various languages, including Latin, French, and Norse. Modern English started to emerge around the late Middle Ages and has continued to evolve and change ever since.
English is not directly descended from French, but it is heavily influenced by it. French is a romance language, meaning is is a direct descendent of Latin, the language of ancient Rome. English, on the other hand is a Germanic language, related to German, Dutch, and the Scandinavian languages. In 1066, a Norman French army invaded and conquered England. Over the next few centuries, the Old English spoken by the lower class was heavily influenced by the French-speaking rulers. As much as 60% of modern English vocabulary is traced to this French influence. However, the structure of English remained Germanic.
